SER NATIONAL: THE AMERICAN WORKER IS THE STRENGTH OF OUR NATION
“The demand for a trained workforce to fill vacant jobs is a positive sign for the unemployed,” says Ignacio Salazar, SER National President & Chief Executive Officer. This level of job opportunities compels us at SER National and the SER Network of Affiliates to do everything we can daily and add even greater numbers of trained, skilled individuals into the pipeline. Human capital is at a premium right now, a challenge we have undertaken to help solve. “We are especially excited to see the opportunities in areas that address our healthcare needs, leverage technology advances, including artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, and provide training for eco-sustainable and eco-regeneration positions,” adds Salazar.
Labor Day is an opportunity for our country to adopt a newer and more accurate meaning of American individualism in the 21st Century. The term has historically been used when revering great champions who achieved unimaginable victory against all odds, explorers who intrepidly ventured into the most foreboding wildernesses on earth, or the captains of business who forged new industries that transformed our society. Indeed, each and all are worthy of the accolades and honor.
SER National celebrates the American worker in our labor force. This is at the heart of our enduring strength as a country founded on the ideals that every person has worth and value before God and our society. These are unprecedented times, and we can help ensure every worker is empowered and productive.
“As Americans, we can be proud on this Labor Day that we live in a country that offers an abundance of choices in career paths, including certificated positions, specialized trades, and professions that reward those with advanced degrees,” says Salazar. “Every generation aspires to mentor the next and hopes those who follow will raise the bar higher, advance farther, dream, and do greater. This ideal is the spirit of Labor Day, that our work is a blessing, and our purpose is not simply to do for ourselves but for others, including family, community, and our nation. Let us encourage one another to work to meet our nation’s needs. This Labor Day, may we each champion our resolve as a country to achieve our greatest potential in unity and goodwill for the common good,” added Salazar.
